@@TarmaccyclocrossI think you miss the point - simply red is not one person. And even though none of the original members were left besides Mick it’s still the name of a band.
Your reaction when you recognized the song & the nostalgia you have for the music of your grandparent’s day brought tears to my eyes. I’m probably about 30 years older than you & the same thing happens to me when I hear music from my parent’s era. So good! 😊
The music I love so much. This is pure talent. Simply Red’s version is as good as Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Just great music…..the kind of music I wish we had now. Thanks Tasha for the great reaction. I could see you really enjoyed it. 👏👏🇨🇦
Depends on how young. If you mean better than at the beginning of his career then you'd be right, though that shouldn't be surprising. From around the early 90's when Stars was releassed he's been relatively consistant and he certainly doesn't sound worse, but not better either.
Rarely and I mean rarely do I ever like a remake better than the original but this song is the exception, Mich's voice is amazing. Although Teddy pendergrass is version was my favorite until this one came out LOL
Here is a Scottish band you should listen to called WET WET WET and their biggest hit called ( Love is all Around ) it was 15 weeks at number 1 in the UK charts
Great song from my youth! Simply Red didn't get as much respect as they deserved! Have you done Michael Nesmith of The Monkees fame? "Cruisin, Sunset Sam" would be a good one to react to!
Simply Red, so named because they are massive Manchester United fans.. (UK) Seen em live, yes its his voice! LOL.. Look at UB40 great voice & the name is the form number for being unemployed.
Great song..so much nostalgia for sure.. Tasha I highly recommend their performance at Simply Red - Stars (Symphonica In Rosso-Netherlands) when the people sing along....
This version doesn't come close to the original by Teddy Pendergrass with Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes. It's the difference between a kernel of corn and a 5 course meal from a 5 star restaurant.
I agree with you 100% but you got it backwards it's the other way around😁 I will agree this performance is not near as good as the original recording by simply red
@@smedleybutler1969 A good cover yes. IMO it's hard to do a bad cover of this song. The truth remains that Teddy Pendergrass' voice was a rare one, and he gives a much more passionate take in the original. Whereas Hucknall's voice is not, and his performance hasn't near the passion. There is Teddy's version and then there is everyone else.
My 15 year old aunty used me as an excuse to meet her friends and pushed me in my pram the 1.5 miles to meet her friends outside the cavern club to hear the Beatles before they where famous so I have heard the Beatles play when I started clubbing it was Liverpool soul and jazz funk clubs and even Wigan pier. Saw my favourite earth wind and fire in 70s and 25 years later, stevie wonder, diane Ross. Bob Marley. I’ve been to concerts in Stately homes to listen to hans water music Beethoven. [ I married a manc, so to foreigners check football rivalry] and took my wife who loves simply red for his final tour [it turned not to be ] his last night was in Manchester and he mention so many times how he had played in Liverpool but hated scousers and was glad to be back home. I felt I was the only scouser and it hurts me to say but what a fantastic voice and what a concert although afterward my wife thinks Beyoncé was her favourite. Me I’m looking forward to going to the cinema to watch bob marley. Music feeds the soul if one exists.
Teddy Pendergrass put true soul into this song in 1972 as a member of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I was in high and this was the song to slow dance to. Along with Al Wilson singing SHOW AND TELL. Enjoy
Simply Red were classed as a jazz band but, you couldn't get any more soul than they were. Seen them live. Mick Hucknall's voice was even better live. ❤
You've got to check out their cover of the old Ray Charles classic, 'Drown in my own tears'! (1992) He really pulls out all the stops, vocally. It's a joy to listen to someone at the peak of his powers!! 😍
You know, the RED that bad dog. How you can bring it on home? Hey, burn your HO. Where am I right question mark simply right how do you say absolutely wonderful absolutely
